As a front‑line educator, President Qin always puts education high on her agenda. She delivered speeches during deliberations of the Jilin Provincial Delegation and submitted proposals to the conference addressing issues such as changes in school‑age population, education supply and education‑related consumption, and the development of primary and secondary school teachers.
As a deputy to the National People’s Congress, this year marks the 9th time for President Qin He to attend the national Two Sessions. Counting her previous tenure as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, this is her 19th attendance at the national Two Sessions. Having served two terms as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and later re‑elected as a deputy to the National People’s Congress, she has assumed different roles and performed duties in different ways. Nevertheless, her mission to perform duties for the people and offer suggestions for national development remains unchanged.
